New York City College of Technology received a one-year $197,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Justice's Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention to expand the college's involvement with Brooklyn, New York's at-risk youth population. The funds will be used to provide educational opportunities and alternative paths to 200 students at Passages Academy, a local high school program that educates 4,000 court-referred youth at secure and non-secure sites.

The project also will hold a mini-conference on campus in the spring/summer 2006 for at-risk youth in the community.
